Nowhere (Gregg Araki, 1997)

2/10
One of those movies I caught late at night on Moviepix and saw a lot of young actors I recognized (Ryan Philippe, Heather Graham, Christina Applegate, Mena Suvari, Guillermo Diaz, etc) so I just had to keep watching till the end to see what it was all about. It could have been a decent commentary on the state of bored, drug- and sex-obsessed teenagers but instead a stupid, inexplicable subplot involving some sort of alien invasion runs throughout and basically undermines any intelligence or "message" the film is trying to convey, especially at the end. Maybe that was the point.
